Siemens to modernize pickling line for ArcelorMittal Asturias in Spain
- October 29, 2014
- News Release
- Metals/Materials
Spanish steel producer ArcelorMittal Asturias has awarded Siemens Metals Technologies an order to completely modernize the pickling line at its Avilés plant. The aims of the project are to increase the capacity of the pickling line from 1.5 to 1.8 million metric tons per annum and to improve working safety.
The revamp will be performed during short planned downtimes. The modernized line is scheduled to be operational at the end of 2015.
The plant produces a variety of flat carbon steel products, including hot and cold strip, as well as galvanized, tin-coated, and organically coated sheets. To modernize the pickling line, Siemens will supply a charging section, a new strip preparation, and a new entry section and will increase the capacity of the strip accumulators. A new scale breaker will replace the existing skin-pass mill. The exit section will be equipped with an edge notcher. Potential danger points will be eliminated along the line layout.
